CYBERJAYA | 23 Januari — Suruhanjaya Komunikasi dan Multimedia Malaysia (MCMC) hari ini menarik balik sekatan sementara terhadap penggunaan aplikasi Grok di platform X, selepas platform tersebut mengesahkan pelaksanaan langkah keselamatan dan pencegahan tambahan selaras dengan undang-undang Malaysia.
Keputusan itu dibuat susulan satu mesyuarat pada 21 Januari 2026 yang melibatkan Kementerian Komunikasi, MCMC dan wakil rasmi platform X bagi mendapatkan penjelasan serta komitmen berhubung pematuhan undang-undang tempatan berkaitan aplikasi kecerdasan buatan berkenaan.
Menurut MCMC, pihak X telah memberikan pengesahan bahawa langkah keselamatan yang diperlukan telah dilaksanakan terhadap aplikasi Grok, sekali gus meredakan kebimbangan pihak berkuasa berkaitan keselamatan pengguna dan pematuhan perundangan.
“Setelah meneliti penjelasan dan pengesahan awal yang dikemukakan, MCMC memutuskan untuk menarik balik sekatan akses sementara terhadap aplikasi Grok, tertakluk kepada pemantauan berterusan,” menurut kenyataan itu.
Bagaimanapun, MCMC menegaskan bahawa penarikan sekatan ini bukan cek kosong kepada mana-mana platform digital. Pemantauan akan diteruskan dan sebarang kegagalan mematuhi undang-undang atau pelanggaran peraturan tempatan akan diambil tindakan tegas.
MCMC turut menekankan bahawa keselamatan pengguna kekal sebagai keutamaan utama, khususnya dalam era penggunaan kecerdasan buatan yang semakin meluas dan berpotensi disalah guna jika tidak dikawal.
Langkah ini menunjukkan pendirian jelas kerajaan bahawa inovasi digital dialu-alukan, namun tidak boleh mengatasi tanggungjawab undang-undang dan keselamatan awam.
Terbaik MCMC!

The European Commission has launched a new formal investigation against X under the Digital Services Act (DSA). In parallel, the Commission extended its ongoing investigation launched in December 2023 into X’s compliance with its recommender systems risk management obligations.
The new investigation will assess whether the company properly assessed and mitigated risks associated with the deployment of Grok’s functionalities into X in the EU. This includes risks related to the dissemination of illegal content in the EU, such as manipulated sexually explicit images, including content that may amount to child sexual abuse material.
These risks seem to have materialised, exposing citizens in the EU to serious harm. In light of this, the Commission will further investigate whether X complies with its DSA obligations to:
Diligently assess and mitigate systemic risks, including of the dissemination of illegal content, negative effects in relation to gender-based violence, and serious negative consequences to physical and mental well-being stemming from deployments of Grok’s functionalities into its platform.
Conduct and transmit to the Commission an ad hoc risk assessment report for Grok’s functionalities in the X service with a critical impact on X’s risk profile prior to their deployment.
Separately, the Commission has extended its ongoing formal proceedings opened against X in December 2023 to establish whether X has properly assessed and mitigated all systemic risks, as defined in the DSA, associated with its recommender systems, including the impact of its recently announced switch to a Grok-based recommender system.
If proven, these failures would constitute infringements of Articles 34(1) and (2), 35(1) and 42(2) of the DSA. The Commission will now carry out an in-depth investigation as a matter of priority. The opening of formal proceedings does not prejudge its outcome.
In preparing for this investigation, the Commission has closely collaborated with Coimisiún na Meán, the Irish Digital Services Coordinator. Further, Coimisiún na Meán will be associated to this investigation, pursuant to Article 66(3), as the national Digital Services Coordinator in the country of establishment in the EU.
Don’t be surprised if this is swept under the carpet
Always U-turn and Tarik Balik
Elon Musk’s artificial intelligence chatbot, Grok, created and then publicly shared at least 1.8 million sexualized images of women, according to separate estimates of X data by The New York Times and the Center for Countering Digital Hate.
Starting in late December, users on the social media platform inundated the chatbot’s X account with requests to alter real photos of women and children to remove their clothes, put them in bikinis and pose them in sexual positions, prompting a global outcry from victims and regulators.
In just nine days, Grok posted more than 4.4 million images. A review by The Times conservatively estimated that at least 41 percent of posts, or 1.8 million, most likely contained sexualized imagery of women. A broader analysis by the Center for Countering Digital Hate, using a statistical model, estimated that 65 percent, or just over three million, contained sexualized imagery of men, women or children.
Obsessed are we?
